Hi Mark,
Thanks for your message.
I want to introduce myself here since we'll probably have more discussions with you and Plotaroute community in the near future.
My name is Arnaud and I'm the cofounder of https://www.visorando.com, a community website for creating and finding walk ideas (mainly). I began to developp this website 14 years ago as I love webdevelopping, outdoor sports and maps. With Fabien, my cofounder and the Visorando team (about 15 persons), we're proud of John's trust in our project for Plotaroute.
We are awared of what happened to Viewranger. It was really a big mess... Be ensured that Plotaroute won't disappear.
We'll come back to you in the near future with some more informations about our projects. We first need a couple of weeks to get used with Plotaroute community, administration and technical tools. John spent this week with us in France and gave us a lot of informations. He'll continue to help us during this transitionnal period.
Arnaud
